- Holding the Stacked Blade Assembly by the top of the shaft, place it onto the drive gear inside the pitcher. Ensure that the Stacked Blade Assembly is seated properly and is standing upright. (Fig. 4) NOTE: The Stacked Blade Assembly will fit loosely on the drive gear.
- Add the ingredients to the pitcher, making sure that they do not exceed the highest measured marking line on the side of the pitcher. NOTE: If you need to add additional ingredients while the appliance is processing, open the pour spout cap and pour the ingredients in through the opening. NOTE: When blending any kind of liquids, such as mixtures of any drinks or smoothies, do not exceed the “Max liquid” mark (64 ounces) on the pitcher.
- Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet and press the power button. IMPORTANT: As a safety feature, the power button will flash, and the motor will not work if the pitcher and lid are not installed correctly. When the pitcher and lid are installed properly, the power button will be solid, indicating that the blender is ready for use.
